Strong's Lexicon re'eh: To see, look, behold, perceive Original Word: רֵעֶה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3708 (ὁράω, horao) - to see, perceive - G991 (βλέπω, blepo) - to look at, behold Usage: The Hebrew verb "re'eh" primarily means "to see" or "to look." It is used in various contexts throughout the Old Testament to denote physical sight, perception, understanding, and sometimes metaphorical or spiritual insight. The word can imply not just the act of seeing but also the deeper understanding or realization that comes from observation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, seeing was often associated with understanding and knowledge. The act of seeing was not merely a physical function but was deeply connected to one's perception and discernment. In a time when written texts were not as prevalent, much learning and knowledge were passed down through observation and oral tradition. Thus, "re'eh" carries a weight of comprehending and internalizing what is observed.
